Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
Fraxel is a laser treatment that uses microscopic light beams to penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production. This helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How does ThermaFrax work?
Plan for a four to five hour appointment when you come in. The ThermaFrax treatment is composed of two procedures: Thermage and Fraxel. Thermage provides collagen stimulation by sending heat to the deeper layers of the skin. The Fraxel treatment uses a laser to improve fine lines, brown spots, and enlarged pores.
Which treatment will I receive first, Thermage or Fraxel?
You’ll start with Thermage, which takes about two hours. You’ll feel the device alternate between warm and cool sensations during treatment. The cooling makes your experience safer and more comfortable, although you may feel irritation. An hour before moving on to the Fraxel procedure, we’ll apply a topical anesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable. You may feel an increased heat sensation as the laser glides over your skin.
What can I expect post-ThermaFrax treatment?
After ThermaFrax, your face will feel and look like it has a sunburn. Any redness or swelling will disappear soon and can be soothed with ice packs or cold cloths. Over the next week, you might notice some peeling, flaking and/or bronzing (darkening). But don’t worry; this is all a normal part of the healing and rejuvenation process.
When will I start to see results?
After just one week, your face will look rested and refreshed. But the improvements won’t stop there: over the course of six to nine months, you’ll see more firming and smoothing as your face is revitalized with healthy new skin.
